Evil Consort in the Great Era

Chapter 77 - Six hours and five taels of silver at night

Mo Xiyan and Zhang Ye quickly returned to the west yard.

Yang Tianrui was already asleep on the table.

She held his hand and channeled some wood gas into his body so that he could have a deeper sleep.

Only then did Zhang Ye carry him to the bed.

The reason she did this was because she felt that since this child was able to sleep, then she must be tired. Since there wasn't much to do, she might as well have a good sleep first.

However, what she did not expect was that the injuries on his body were even worse than what she had imagined.

She only undid the collar of Yang Tianrui's clothes slightly to see that it was completely black.

When her gaze came in contact with the black patch, her heart jolted.

Hua, she opened up the front of her robes, revealing Yang Tianrui's entire chest.

On that small chest, there was a completely black footprint, shocking her to the extreme.

She quickly examined his other injuries.

He found that other than his chest, there were also several black footprints on his back.

Looking at the heavily damaged Yang Tianrui, Mo Xiyan was furious.

"Tell me, who was it?"

"It's a child from the village."

Zhang Ye told Mo Xiyan everything that happened at that time.

"Why did you hit him? You think he's easy to bully? " Mo Xiyan asked.

"No, I heard that it was because they were speaking ill of Master. In order to help you, Yang Tianrui fought with them."

Zhang Ye told Mo Xiyan everything he knew.

including what he asked Yang Tianrui when he sent him back to the west yard.

Of course, Mo Xiyan knew the rumors in the village.

But she did not care.

Because she was never someone who cared about gossip.

If such a child could stand up for her, then how could her master and the others stand up for her behind her back?

Mo Xiyan never thought that her own inaction would actually cause these people who cared about her to suffer so much.

She decided that she would not let those who cared about her suffer any more, nor would she allow those rumors to spread.

Of course, directly asking those people for an explanation was not the correct solution.

These people's opinion of her originated from that wild boar.

And the property she had brought with her.

As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but a wall is a crime.

All in all, these people were just jealous.

This was actually quite easy to solve.

As long as they could fulfill her promise after the fan was built, most of the villagers should not have any objections.

As for the few, she didn't mind using force to crush them.

"Mistress, actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to the words of the villagers. They …"

Seeing Mo Xiyan seated there, without saying a word, Zhang Ye wanted to open his mouth and console her.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Mo Xiyan.

Mo Xiyan looked at Zhang Ye with a stained smile, and suddenly became serious, "Zhang Ye, you might have to busy yourself next."

Seeing that, Zhang Ye said seriously: "Yes, please speak, Master."

"From today onwards, speed up the construction of the manor. Tell the villagers that those who are willing to work at night for six hours will receive an extra five taels of silver."

"Five liang!" Isn't that too much? "

After the last time Mo Xiyan gave him two thousand silver, she gave Zhang Ye the rest of the money to take care of.

It could also be said that Zhang Ye now controlled Mo Xiyan's economic lifeline.

And because of that, he took Mo Xiyan's place, and thought of everything in his mind.

When he heard that it would cost him five taels, he rejected it without thinking.

"Mistress, actually, we don't need any extra money. As long as they are divided into two groups, one group will start working during the day, and the other group will start working at night …"

"No, we can't save on that."

Mo Xiyan continued to interrupt Zhang Ye. She looked at him and said word by word with seriousness, "I need to build a mansion as fast as possible."

"Why? "With our current progress, we'll definitely be able to live after the new year."

Zhang Ye could not understand, why would Mo Xiyan suddenly want to speed up?

"It's the new year, it's too late."

Mo Xiyan shook her head, "Do as I say, I have already decided on this matter."

Seeing her insistence, although Zhang Ye was still a little disagreeing in his heart, in the end, he did not say anything more.

"In that case, I'll do it right away."

With that, he turned around and quickly left.

Only after Zhang Ye left did Mo Xiyan begin to treat her injuries.

Her treatment was very simple.

He just wanted to use her special ability to directly heal Yang Tianrui's body.

In her eyes, this kind of injury really could be considered to be extremely light.

Even a broken arm or foot could be perfectly healed by her Discipline.

What's more, it was only a superficial wound like Yang Tianrui?

Thus, in a few minutes, Mo Xiyan was done.

The injuries on Yang Tianrui's body had been healed completely, and not even a scar was left.

Mo Xiyan dared to treat her injuries so thoroughly, it was only because she was sure that Yang Tianrui had not looked at the wounds on her body carefully before.

Moreover, since he was planning on hiding it from his master, then no traces would be the safest.

She did not wake him.

Instead, he went back to his own house and told Dr. Yang about Yang Tianrui's situation in her house.

He fought with other people because of her.

She had already opened her mouth, so of course Dr. Yang would not say anything more.

She only followed her back home, bringing Yang Tianrui along with her.

His reason was that although Yang Tianrui was still young, he was still a twelve-year-old boy.

It might not be appropriate to live in Mo Xiyan's house.

Hearing his master's words, Mo Xiyan then remembered that his body was only sixteen years old, and only four years older than Yang Tianrui.

Speaking of which, it was indeed not good to be too intimate with him.

In this era, being too intimate might be considered a clandestine love affair, which would then have to be soaked in a pig cage.

His master was still the same as he thought, he had especially reminded Sang Nu and the others not to tell anyone about this matter.

A Liu and Sang Nu naturally agreed. After all, this concerned Mo Xiyan.

When Dr. Yang carried Yang Tianrui and left, it was at the same time that Zhang Ye reached an agreement with the villagers.

Because he did not dare delay Mo Xiyan's explanation.

So he went straight to the construction site of the Mo Mansion.

He planned to have a good talk with the villagers about increasing his working hours.

It was afternoon and all the villagers were working, so it was easy for him to gather all the villagers.

He looked at the crowd and tried his best to express his thoughts with simple words.

"Master means that anyone who is willing to work at night can be paid an additional five silver taels. Do any of you want to?"

After Zhang Ye finished speaking, the villagers became silent.

After a long while, Mo He finally spoke up for everyone.

"Manager Zhang, is what you said true?" "That's five taels of silver."

"Yes, it was indeed five taels of silver. Master said so himself."

Zhang Ye nodded, and said with certainty.

In fact, he could understand why the villagers would suspect such a thing.

After all, if it was him, he wouldn't believe such a good thing existed in this world.

"If it's true, then I'm willing." Mo He nodded.

The moment he opened his mouth, the other villagers all began to show their attitudes.

"I'm willing as well. As long as I really have 5 taels of silver, I'm willing to not sleep for the entire night."

All the villagers present expressed their willingness to start work at night.

The fact that the matter had gone so smoothly had caused Zhang Ye to be extremely shocked.

He looked at them suspiciously. "You are all willing?"

"Of course, who doesn't want to earn five silver?"

The villagers once again nodded their heads in affirmation.

"So it's like this, I'll only work during the day. As for when I'll start working at night, I'll tell you after I ask my master."

"Then go quickly, and we'll earn more money as soon as possible."

The villagers were pragmatic and directly asked Zhang Ye to ask him.

They really didn't want to wait a minute.

"Alright, I'll go ask."

Zhang Ye thought about it, there was no reason not to agree, so he turned around to look for Mo Xiyan.

When he arrived, Mo Xiyan was just sending Dr. Yang out of Sang Nu's house.

When he saw Zhang Ye, Dr. Yang said straightforwardly, "You guys must have other things to discuss, so you guys can head back first. I can carry Tian Rui back myself."

"Is that really possible?" Mo Xiyan was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I've been carrying her since I was young. She'll definitely be fine." Dr. Yang smiled and shook his head, then turned to leave.

Mo Xiyan watched their departing figures but she was still worried from start to finish.

"Zhang Ye, hurry and catch up with him. Back to Tian Rui's home."

"Yes, master." As Zhang Ye spoke, he quickly caught up with the Dr. Yang and carried Yang Tianrui off his back.

"How can I accept this? Don't you guys still have matters to discuss?"

When Dr. Yang saw Zhang Ye holding Yang Tianrui horizontally and wanted to go forward to hug him back, he was rejected by Zhang Ye.

"It won't be a problem, I'll help you send the child back first. It's fine."

Zhang Ye was also very persistent.

Firstly, was naturally because of Mo Xiyan's instructions.

Secondly, it was because he really liked Yang Tianrui.

Dr. Yang also did not insist. In fact, he had grown up with Yang Tianrui on his back since he was young.

However, he was already old and it was a bit difficult for him to carry him home.

The reason why he said that earlier was because he did not want Mo Xiyan to worry.

Who would have thought that she would still let Zhang Ye follow her.

Thinking of this, he once again felt that this disciple was not taken in for nothing.

Zhang Ye very quickly brought Yang Tianrui home.

Without delay, he rushed back as fast as he could.

When he arrived, Mo Xiyan had already brewed tea and was sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for him for a long time.

"Did the villagers all agree?"

When she saw him return, she directly said this.

"Yes, I agreed." Zhang Ye nodded.

Mo Xiyan nodded her head in satisfaction, "Very good, let's start tomorrow then."

Zhang Ye agreed, then after thinking for a while, he asked, "Master, how do we start the construction work tonight?"

There was no light, and even if they wanted to, it would be difficult, wouldn't it?

Mo Xiyan was naturally aware of his doubts.

She only gave him a mysterious smile, "Don't worry, since I've already said so, I naturally have a way to get everyone started."
